Mr Mickey Raviv director of marketing and business development said that the company is bidding for the USD 1.8 billion Lusail Light Rail Project a planned rail system linking parts of Qatar’s yet to be built Lusail City.

He said that the company was also considering bidding for the USD 41 billion Doha Metro project a planned 4 line rail system linking stadia for the 2022 World Cup and expected to go to tender in the Q2 of next year.
